TWO MONTHS BY SHIP ? !



My family and I are planning a huge summer vacation that has been our dream since forever. Our trip is supposed to be 14.000 kms to the north-east of the world. And ever since it is absolutely sure that our vacations start on February 1st, I have been surfing on the internet for hours looking for information that will make this experience easier.
Last month my mom was complaining about all the hours that we will have to spend on an airplane. It was then when I realized how lucky we are for having airplanes and buses and trains. My mother was only thinking on how boring was going to be fly over the Atlantic “without my ‘crochet’ for 14 hours!”  And I thought that when our ancestors arrived to this country they did it by ship and the trip lasted from 2 to 3 MONTHS. In 1800 cars didn't exist and it took days to travel from one city to another.
In my opinion we don’t appreciate enough what we have and we should be grateful for all the advances and all the technology that we have and stop complaining on daily things that just 50 or 80 years ago were unthinkable.
